Great Women's 10K, Glasgow, Sunday 5th June

Join us for Scotland’s biggest women-only running event on Sunday 5th June, which sees thousands of women from all walks of life hit the streets of Glasgow for a fun day out filled with laughter, achievement and celebration.

In our 175th anniversary year EMMS International is prioritising gender issues. Just being born female in areas of rural India presents a significant risk to life and a low societal status and most become mothers at between 12 and 14 years old. Providing women and girls in Northern India with basic healthcare means tackling mistaken beliefs and practices through community care and education.

At our partner hospitals in Northern India girls are welcome. They have equal access to good healthcare and each one is cared for.

£2,620 could fund a General Nursing Midwife to provide care to change to the lives of thousands of women and their babies in India.

Show your solidarity and support for women in some of the poorest communities through raising sponsorship to help to provide effective health education to tackle the injustices girls face today. You can give them a voice and show them they are valued.
